The board read Q♥J♠K♣ with perhaps 60,000 in the middle. Kourosh Arshadnej, who’s been the chip leader all day, checked from the Big Blind to Zhivko Zhivkov (Button), who bet 25,000. Faster than the speed of lightning, Arshadnej announced “raise” to 75,000. After a few seconds’ worth of consideration, Zhivkov made the call.
Both players checked the 2♠ turn and the 2♥ river. Zhivkov turned over K♠9♥, and seeing as Arshadnej mucked his hand, a pair of Kings was enough to take down the pot.
Kourosh Arshadnej: 845,000
Zhivko Zhivkov: 435,000
